Here is video of GOP Sen. Tom Coburn getting some love from MSNBC for his recent defense of Nancy Pelosi as a "good person," and for his attack on Fox News.

On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," they led into an interview with Coburn by playing audio of his remarks in which he defended Pelosi and warned the audience not to be biased by "Fox News." Joe Scarborough then praised Coburn, agreeing with him that Pelosi is a "good woman," and was followed by Donny Deutsch who told Coburn he "just gave Republicans the playbook" of how to go after Democrats. First, say they are good people, then hit them on the issues.Coburn was grilled by Bill O'Reilly for his Fox News attacks earlier in the week.

Coburn seemed a little uncomfortable on how to respond to Deutsch (maybe he was thinking, "What have I done if Deutsch is praising me?"), and was then praised again by Scarborough for his close friendship with Barack Obama.
